I got this on Ebay several months ago, but it had crappy scales. So, I polished it up really nicely, it only had one tiny pit anyway, and sent it off to gssixgun. He made me this beautiful set of tigers eye acrylic scales that fit the blade beautifully!
I haven't measured exactly, but she's about 7/8. Wicked sharp too!
Thanks Glen!

So I managed to drop it last night and broke one scale off at the pivot. Couldn't even find the broken piece, and dinged the blade up a little bit too. Dammit!
Man that stinks that looks like a nice blade in the picture.
It's a very nice blade and nice scales before they were broken. Looks like I'll have to have some more made soon. It's too nice a blade to just give up on.
Damn, sorry to hear about your luck. That's a beautiful piece though. Hope you get it fixed up and re-scaled soon!
She was beautiful. Good luck in the future. And be careful!!
I was careful, not to try and catch it when it fell. I could have, and started to, but held off.Quote:
